Hell Of A Life
Lil Wayne Gucci Mane T.I. & Lil Boosie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got a hell of a life fucked up had to make sure the money right
Niggas be talking alright
Streets hard so I never try to play it nice
I had to earn all my stripes
Pack flipping had to get it off by the night
You don't know nothing bout I
When I move niggas know I gotta keep a pipe
I got a hell of a life fucked up had to make sure the money right
Niggas be talking alright
Streets hard so I never try to play it nice
I had to earn all my stripes
Pack flipping had to get it off by the night
You don't know nothing bout I
When I move niggas know I gotta keep a pipe
From the bottom I grew up too fast
Seven year old nigga getting to a bag
When I spit they all know that it's facts
How he spitting hard for years and getting to them racks
He underground why is that
They ain't never seen the wave I'm showing them the map
I'm not the joke like the cat in the hat
I serve packs of that white till my pockets fat
Birkin her shoulder Amiri's the jeans
I won't fuck you over we chasing our dreams
They don't see the struggle it ain't what it seem
If we traded places I think you would scream
My drip is nauseous like drinking Codeine
I'm hitting my target and getting the ring
I keep that heat they don't like when it sing
I was broke in the past now my neck got that bling
I couldn't loose cause I came from the bottom where even my family counted me out
I wouldn't cap I like paper so fuck all the haters that hate cause I'm getting it now
From the mud we heard sirens and lost lots of friends so don't try me on sight we be airing it out
We came from poverty now we count property I showed them folks how I'm making it out
I got a hell of a life, hell of a life
I got to do this shit right, do this shit right
I got a hell of a life, hell of a life
I got to do this shit right, do this shit right
I got a hell of a life fucked up had to make sure the money right
Niggas be talking alright
Streets hard so I never try to play it nice
I had to earn all my stripes
Pack flipping had to get it off by the night.
You don't know nothing bout I
When I move niggas know I gotta keep a pipe
I got a hell of a life fucked up had to make sure the money right
Niggas be talking alright
Streets hard so I never try to play it nice
I had to earn all my stripes
Pack flipping had to get it off by the night.
You don't know nothing bout I
When I move niggas know I gotta keep a pipe
I got a hell of a life, hell of a life
I got to do this shit right, do this shit right




I got a hell of a life, hell of a life
I got to do this shit right, do this shit right
